Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ARHEVE at 4.9 against Odes's 4.0. ARHEVE also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 67%) and ratings volume (29 vs 7). Odes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
